Gold Medal Gymnast’s Kids Have Eyes on Disneyland, Not Olympics

While the world’s attention is focused on the thrilling competitions at the 2024 Olympics, one gold medalist’s family has their sights set on a different kind of magic. Shawn Johnson East, the iconic gymnast who captured hearts at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is back in Paris to cheer on her fellow athletes. However, her three young children seem more interested in meeting Mickey Mouse than witnessing Olympic greatness.

“I don’t think they’re going to appreciate or understand any of it,” Johnson East confessed to E! News. “They’re most excited for Disneyland Paris.” While the 32-year-old is undoubtedly proud of her country and its athletes, she’s also embracing the reality of parenting young children.

Despite the kids’ lack of Olympic enthusiasm, Johnson East is determined to make the most of their Parisian adventure. She’s hoping her children will at least enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and perhaps develop a fondness for certain sports. “Drew does enjoy watching gymnastics strictly for the leotards,” she shared with a laugh.

With three energetic young ones, navigating the bustling Olympic crowds is a challenge Johnson East is facing with a mix of excitement and trepidation. “The only thing that I’m nervous about with Paris is it’s just a lot of people at the Olympics,” she explained. “There’s a lot of chances to not see a little kid, which freaks me out.”

But despite the potential hurdles, Johnson East and her husband, Andrew East, are thrilled to be back in the Olympic spirit. After missing the 2020 Games due to the birth of their son Jett, they’re eager to soak up the experience with their entire family.

As they embark on a five-week European adventure, the East family is ready for anything. From trains and planes to boats and automobiles, they’re determined to create unforgettable memories, whether it’s cheering on Olympic athletes or exploring the magical world of Disneyland Paris!
